<span>To the computer f, this answer is because when reading the statement I assume that there is no type of connection and / or communication between the computer a and c; therefore to be profitable the computer c should return the package sending it back to computer f.</span>
Answer:
The buffer has room for 499 characters (you always have to reserve 1 for the terminating \0 character).
The code copies all characters passed in the commandline (argv[1]) into this buffer without checking. If there are more than 499 characters supplied, these will be copied into a memory location that is not intended for it. This will probably cause your program to crash, but if the extra data is somehow executed by the processor as if it were a program, this could be a way to sneak a virus into your computer.
So, while copying data, it is important to always limit the maximum amount to the allocated space.
Explanation:
A.)
we have two machines M1 and M2
cpi stands for clocks per instruction.
to get cpi for machine 1:
= we multiply frequencies with their corresponding M1 cycles and add everything up
50/100 x 1 = 0.5
20/100 x 2 = 0.4
30/100 x 3 = 0.9
CPI for M1 = 0.5 + 0.4 + 0.9 = 1.8
We find CPI for machine 2
we use the same formula we used for 1 above
50/100 x 2 = 1
20/100 x 3 = 0.6
30/100 x 4 = 1.2
CPI for m2 = 1 + 0.6 + 1.2 = 2.8
B.)
CPU execution time for m1 and m2
this is calculated by using the formula;
I * CPI/clock cycle time
execution time for A:
= I * 1.8/60X10⁶
= I x 30 nsec
execution time b:
I x 2.8/80x10⁶
= I x 35 nsec
